Blood-Toll Harpy enters the battlefield and drains each opponent for 1 life — a built-in, guaranteed etb that scales with table size in Commander. Three mana for a 2/1 flier with a small lifeloss trigger is below rate, and this slot has better competition at every power level.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Blood-Toll Harpy is legal in Commander, Pauper, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, and Oathbreaker. Pauper is the only format where it sees any real consideration, and even there it competes poorly against more efficient black fliers and drain pieces. In Commander, the three-opponent drain is the most favorable context for Blood-Toll Harpy, but a 2/1 body for three mana doesn't hold the board, and the life loss is too small to matter unless you're already running a dedicated drain-and-gain engine. In non-rotating 60-card formats it's simply outclassed.

Price Context
Current price
$0.04 bulk tier
At $0.04, Blood-Toll Harpy is deep bulk — the kind of card that fills a common box and rarely moves. That price reflects the ceiling accurately; there's no scarcity argument or spike scenario that changes the calculus here.
